Jun. 6, 2012

Four Israelis made the list of the 100 most influential women in high tech in Europe drawn up by Girls in Tech London Group, the UK branch of Silicon Valley-based Girls in Tech, which seeks to promote women in high tech.

Girls in Tech London picked the top 100 women in 19 countries - the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Greece and Israel - on the basis of their leadership and excellence in innovation and technology. The top 100 are not ranked in any particular order.

This is not the first time that Girls in Tech has praised Israeli women entrepreneurs. Two months ago,Buzzdoes won a “Lady Pitch Night” competition in France, held by La Cantine (Silicon Sentier), Orange France, and Girls in Tech. Buzzdoes, co-founded by CTO Lina Bachar Kirshon, assists application developers to stand out among the millions of applications in the market. Instead of spending money on advertising campaigns on the Web and via cell phone, their marketing is done virally, by word of mouth.
